* ''Persona 5 Dengeki Comic Anthology'' - Yet ''[[RuleOfThree another]]'' manga collection of primarily comedic short stories about the Phantom Thieves' everyday lives and their interactions. Unlike the above, this anthology volume is by a single author and artist, Rokuro Saito (who also wrote/drew the manga for VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax).
* ''Persona 5: Mementos Missions'' - A sort of TieInNovel in manga form, again by Rokuro Saito. Revolves around the Phantom Thieves' efforts in solving both the accusations/mysteries regarding their Mementos targets, alongside the circumstances of the abuse victims they intend to save. In the vein of MysteryFiction, it primarily focuses on their investigative actions in the real world, as opposed to actual combat/exploration in the Metaverse. Expands majorly on actual material and side-missions from in-game, as well as adding supplemental plot elements and characters. Ultimately, it does not conflict with the plot of the game, thus making its canonicity irrelevant.

It's not all hopeless, though. On your first visit to this strange world, you meet a creature calling himself "Morgana," and he seems to know what's going on in there. As he explains, stealing the "Treasure" that forms the heart of the Palace will [[HeelFaceBrainwashing erase the owner's twisted desires,]] forcing them to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone confront the horrible things they've done]]. With the aid of a mysterious smartphone app, an even more mysterious mentor, and the inner power of your "Persona," you decide to use the Metaverse to strike back against the rotten society that cast you out. Taking the codename "Joker," you form a crew of [[PhantomThief Phantom Thieves]] with those who share this power, dedicated to stealing Treasure and forcibly changing the hearts of the corrupt.
